hatred

²⁰If anyone says that he loves God, but hates his brother, then he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he does see, in what way can he love God, whom he does not see?

¹²Hatred rises up from disputes. And charity covers all offenses.

⁹Whoever declares himself to be in the light, and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness even now.

¹⁵But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your sins.

⁴⁴But I say to you: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. And pray for those who persecute and slander you.

¹⁸If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you.

²⁴An enemy is known by his lips, though it is from his heart that he draws out deceit. ²⁵When he will have lowered his voice, do not believe him, for there are seven vices in his heart. ²⁶Whoever covers hatred with deceit, his malice shall be revealed in the assembly.

¹¹But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness, and in darkness he walks, and he does not know where he is going. For the darkness has blinded his eyes.

²⁷But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. ²⁸Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who slander you. ²⁹And to him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your coat, do not withhold even your tunic. ³⁰But distribute to all who ask of you. And do not ask again of him who takes away what is yours. ³¹And exactly as you would want people to treat you, treat them also the same. ³²And if you love those who love you, what credit is due to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

¹⁸Lying lips conceal hatred; whoever brings forth contempt is unwise.

¹⁷You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but reprove him openly, lest you have sin over him.

³¹Let all bitterness and anger and indignation and outcry and blasphemy be taken away from you, along with all malice.

²²Do not say, “I will repay evil.” Wait for the Lord, and he will free you.

¹Where do wars and contentions among you come from? Is it not from this: from your own desires, which battle within your members? ²You desire, and you do not have. You envy and you kill, and you are unable to obtain. You argue and you fight, and you do not have, because you do not ask. ³You ask and you do not receive, because you ask badly, so that you may use it toward your own desires. ⁴You adulterers! Do you not know that the friendship of this world is hostile to God? Therefore, whoever has chosen to be a friend of this world has been made into an enemy of God. ⁵Or do you think that Scripture says in vain: “The spirit which lives within you desires unto envy?” ⁶But he gives a greater grace. Therefore he says: “God resists the arrogant, but he gives grace to the humble.”
